I've just started creating a new sitefinity website from the 3.5sp1 standard blank project. I created a few pages, added a few templates etc. Did notice right away but when I click Modules -> News I get a parser error:

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

It seems ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/News/App_LocalResources/ControlPanelEdit.ascx.resx file is not formatted properly, more exactly it's missing the root node. Please open the file with notepad for example and make sure it has a <root> element:

<?xml version="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>

<root>

...

</root>

For your convenience I have attached a working version of the resource file.

Do let us know if this helps.

I'm having this same issue. The error shows that /sitefinity/Admin/App_LocalResources/ModifiedBlogPost.ascx.resx is the problem. This file doesn't exist, so I can't fix the root element of it. How do I go about fixing this if the file does not exist?

We do not have a resx file called ModifiedBlogPost.ascx.resx that is located under /sitefinity/Admin/App_LocalResources/. Check, in which template you are trying to use some resources from ModifiedBlogPost.ascx.resx. It seems that you are referencing this file somehow.
